Weather Guard

Built for the jobsite: tools organized, secured, and ready

Work vans and trucks are only as efficient as the equipment inside them. That’s why contractors, fleets, and owner-operators rely on Weather Guard to create a cleaner layout, faster access to gear, and a safer driving experience. Whether you’re storing hand tools, power tools, fittings, or inventory, Weather Guard solutions are designed to help you reduce clutter and keep the essentials within reach.

On a typical day, a better setup means fewer wasted steps, fewer lost parts, and less time digging through piles. If you’re building a van that needs to perform at a high level, Weather Guard makes it easier to create a consistent system—so every stop runs smoother.

Weather Guard Tool Boxes

Weather Guard Tool Boxes are a go-to choice for pros who want dependable storage for tools and equipment. From crossover tool boxes to side-mount and chest-style options, these boxes are built to help protect valuable tools from weather exposure, jobsite abuse, and everyday wear. Many Weather Guard tool boxes also focus on real-world convenience—easy-to-use latching, strong construction, and layouts that help you keep commonly used items accessible.

Weather Guard Van Shelving

Weather Guard Van Shelving is designed to turn an empty cargo area into an organized mobile workspace. Shelving helps you separate tools from parts, keep hardware sorted, and build a repeatable system that matches how you work. Whether you’re a plumber, HVAC tech, electrician, restoration contractor, or mobile service pro, van shelving creates a home for the items you use every day—so you can grab what you need and get back to the job faster.

Need to dial in the details? Many setups can be expanded with dividers, bins, drawers, cabinets, and accessories that keep your van looking professional while improving workflow.

Weather Guard Ladder Racks

If your day involves ladders, conduit, pipe, or long material, Weather Guard Ladder Racks help you carry more safely and free up valuable interior space. A ladder rack setup keeps bulky gear out of the cargo area and makes loading/unloading easier—especially when paired with accessories that support your workflow. For many trades, ladder racks are the difference between a cramped interior and a van that stays organized all week.

Weather Guard Partitions & Bulkheads (including composite options)

A partition (also called a bulkhead) is one of the best add-ons for safety, comfort, and security. By separating the cab from the cargo area, a partition can help reduce noise and make the cab easier to heat and cool—while also helping keep tools and materials from shifting forward during sudden stops. If you’re building a professional upfit, partitions are a simple upgrade with everyday benefits.

Weather Guard FAQs

Is Weather Guard made in the USA?

Yes, Weather Guard tool boxes and the majority of their product line are manufactured in the United States. Weather Guard has been an American-made brand since its founding in 1968, with manufacturing based in Laurinburg, North Carolina. If country of origin is a deciding factor, check the individual product listing to confirm, as sourcing can vary across specific product lines.

Where can I buy Weather Guard products?

Upfit Supply is an authorized Weather Guard dealer. You can shop the full Weather Guard lineup — tool boxes, van shelving, ladder racks, floor mats, and partitions — right here at upfitsupply.com. Tool boxes ship free, and most orders ship within 1–2 business days from our Michigan warehouse. Our team is available by phone, chat, or email if you need help choosing the right product for your van or truck.

Why are Weather Guard tool boxes so expensive?

Weather Guard tool boxes are built for commercial, professional use — not the consumer market. The price reflects heavy-gauge steel construction, ARMOR TUF powder coat finish engineered to resist chipping and corrosion, dual-action rotary locking, and a limited lifetime warranty. For contractors who use a tool box every single day on the job, the higher upfront cost typically means fewer replacements and lower total cost over time compared to consumer-grade alternatives.

Does Weather Guard include a warranty?

Most Weather Guard products are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms can vary by product category, so check the documentation included with your specific product or the individual product listing page for exact coverage details.

What should I buy first: van shelving, tool boxes, or ladder racks?

Start with your biggest daily pain point. If tools and parts are scattered inside your van and hard to find quickly, start with Weather Guard van shelving — it delivers the most immediate workflow improvement. If you need secure, weather-protected storage in a truck bed, start with Weather Guard tool boxes. If long materials like ladders, conduit, or pipe are taking up your cargo area, Weather Guard van ladder racks free up that interior space. Most professionals end up with all three as part of a complete upfit.

What is the difference between Weather Guard crossover boxes and lo-side boxes?

Crossover boxes (also called saddle boxes) span the full width of the truck bed, mounting on top of both bed rails behind the cab. They provide the most interior storage volume and are the most popular style for contractors. Lo-side boxes mount along one or both bed rails at a lower profile, keeping the center of the bed open for hauling materials flat. If you regularly carry long items in the bed alongside tools, lo-side boxes let you do both without a crossover box blocking access from above.

What is the Weather Guard EZGLIDE2 ladder rack?

The Weather Guard EZGLIDE2 is a drop-down ladder rack system for cargo vans — available for the Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, and RAM ProMaster. Unlike a fixed roof rack, the EZGLIDE2 drops the ladder down to an ergonomic loading height so you can load and unload without lifting overhead. It's spring-assisted for smooth operation and locks securely in both the up and down position. It's one of the most popular Weather Guard products for tradespeople who load and unload ladders multiple times per day.
